About
A thioether-aldehyde with serious reproductive toxicity (H360D), eye damage (H318), and aquatic hazard (H412) that precludes cosmetic use.
This tetrahydrothiopyran derivative carries the hazard statement H360D (may damage the unborn child) along with H318 (causes serious eye damage) and H412 (harmful to aquatic life). The combination of aldehyde reactivity with thioether functionality creates a compound with significant toxicological concern. Reproductive toxicity at this level would exclude the ingredient from cosmetic use under EU Regulation 1223/2009. The compound requires specialized safety data that are not publicly available for this specific structure.
Known concerns
- H360D - reproductive toxicity (Category 1B)
- H318 - serious eye damage
- H412 - aquatic toxicity
- Likely prohibited in EU cosmetics
